Anvisa resolution should come into effect in 12 months; one of the main points is the evaluation of products after use by customers
A resolution of the collegiate board of directors of Anvisa (National Health Surveillance Agency) establishes new regulations of good practices for cosmetics manufacturing companies.
The aim is to improve the monitoring and safety of products permitted in the country, ensuring that any health risks are identified and managed effectively and in a timely manner. The resolution is expected to come into force within 12 months.
The resolution uses the term cosmetovigilance, used to designate post-marketing (when the product reaches the hands of consumers) and post-use (after use by customers) surveillance and monitoring.
This monitoring will include the activities of identification, notification, evaluation, investigation, monitoring, communication and prevention of adverse reactions resulting from the use of cosmetic products under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions.
According to Anvisa, the initiative aims to modernize the regulatory framework of the cosmetics sector, following the best practices adopted internationally by the sector.
It is estimated that the Brazilian market for cosmetics, hygiene and beauty products moves almost R$ 200 billion per year and the expectation is for sustainable growth, according to AbihPec (Brazilian Association of the Personal Hygiene, Perfumery and Cosmetics Industry).
In the first four months of this year, Brazilian exports totaled US$284.1 million. Worldwide, the cosmetics market generates US$500 billion per year.
